Migrating cash control means the spreadsheet tracking inflows and outflows becomes a structured process connected directly to your **ERP**, with approvals enforced and data flowing automatically instead of manually typed. In **Jestor**, this connects native Omie or Conta Azul integration to structured approval flows.

Cash control spreadsheets are often the most fragile financial tool in a company, precisely because they try to track something as dynamic and high-stakes as cash flow with a tool that has no real-time connection to the ERP.

## What cash control spreadsheets get wrong

- Manual entry of every inflow and outflow, prone to omission or error
- No real-time connection to the ERP, requiring separate reconciliation
- No enforced approval before a significant outflow is recorded
- Projections built on spreadsheet formulas that assume, rather than confirm, timing

## How migrating to a financial system works

- Upload the existing cash-tracking spreadsheet as a starting reference
- Approved payables and receivables post directly into **Omie** or **Conta Azul**
- **Alçada** rules enforce approval before significant outflows are recorded
- Cash flow projections in the ERP reflect real, already-approved commitments

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Native ERP integration removes the manual re-entry that spreadsheet cash tracking required
- Alçada-based approval adds enforced oversight before outflows are committed
- Projections improve in accuracy since they're based on real, approved data
- Migration can start from the existing spreadsheet as a reference point
